- Krty, Rakovnik district, Central Bohemian region - flag adopted 12 March
1992.
Krty is located west of Jesenice on the former Karlsbad road. The village
was set up during Slavic settlement of this area. It has a Slavic round
shape, and its name originates of the tribe chief called "Krt".
His people were called "Krts". Dominant in the village square is
the St. Vojtech church, originally built in baroque style in 1682 and re-built
in 1737. Currently it is undergoing a reconstruction. The original church
from 1295 burned down. Near the church entrance you can see two rock sculptures
from the 18th century - St. Vojtech and St. Prokop. The raliroad Rakovnik
- Becov passes through the village. It currently has 104 inhabitants. There
is a grocery store and a pub. Since 1989 the village has its own village
hall. Large forrests with many ponds and flooded mines start right next
to the village, and they are often used by tourists for recreation.

Here is the flag of the municipality of Velká Chmelištná in the Central
Bohemian region (okres Rakovník) in Czechia. It was adopted 5 October 2004
and published in Petr Exner's Vexillological Lexicon of Czech municipal
flags 2004.
Description: yellow, a green trefoil (???) with four cones and two
smaller leaves. ("chmel" = hop-plant, so I guess some canting is
involved).
Jarig Bakker, 2 Dec 2007
You must be right :-)
The green trefoil is indeed a representation of a "main" leaf of the
hop plant. The smaller leaves are found just below the flowers.
Therefore, what is shown on the flag is a very elegant representation
of a hop plant.
"chmel" has its origin in the Latin name given to the plant,
"humulus".

In medieval times the Czech princes had a court in Zbečno, near which
Břetislav II was heinously murdered by Lorek on 22 Dec 1100.
